Critical New Testament scholar Paula Fredriksen claims that the allegedly unknown author of Luke/Acts wrote his or her work in the second century and was not actually a travel companion of, nor all too familiar with, the Apostle Paul.

This episode is in response to the comments Dr. Paula Fredriksen made on the MythVision Podcast (hosted by another Derek!), which you can view at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAQNM455AXo All Rise is a listener and donor-supported presentation from Embrace the Truth.
